Researchers from Johns Hopkins University found that "healthy
chicken" sold in supermarkets are raised on a steady diet of
prescription, over-the-counter, and even banned drugs such as some
antibiotics banned since 2005. Surprisingly, industrial chicken
farms use even carcinogenic arsenic to feed chickens, which actually
ends up in their flesh.

It’s simply appalling and terribly sad what the food system has
become due to the demand for cheap animal products. The animal
agriculture sector cuts corner and even engages in illegal practices
in order to lower their production costs without taking into account
at all human health or the lives of the animals they exploit with
contempt. Thankfully, there is plenty of information available
to consumers in order to make mindful, healthy and compassionate
choices guided by the faith of Christ, a faith grounded on
compassion, mercy, love and justice.
